Through the Partnership, ZagTrader’s Institutional Client Base can now Gain Direct Connectivity to Crypto.com Exchange, with Real-Time Price Feeds and Order Routing Through the Zag Financial Network.
16 September 2026; Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Crypto.com Exchange, one of the world’s fastest and most secure platforms with deep liquidity and competitive fees, and ZagTrader, a recognized leader in capital markets infrastructure providing front-to-back trading technology to banks, brokers, and asset managers, today expanded institutional access to digital assets by establishing direct connectivity between the Zag Financial Network (ZagFN) and the Crypto.com Exchange trading platform in the MENA region.
The partnership adds the Crypto.com Exchange as a new trading destination on ZagFN, giving institutions a simpler and native way to access Crypto.com’s markets without changes to their existing systems, and responds to growing demand for secure and reliable institutional access to digital assets.
“Our institutional-grade, high-performance trading infrastructure provides the ideal platform for ZagTrader clients to access digital assets and diversify their portfolios,” said Iskandar Vanblarcum, Managing Director of Crypto.com Exchange. “Through this partnership, we’re looking forward to advancing institutional adoption by providing a regulated multi-asset offering with seamless connectivity.”
ZagTrader’s platform unifies trading across traditional and digital assets, allowing institutions to add new destinations, like the Crypto.com Exchange, within the systems they already operate, with no additional integration burden.
“The line between traditional and digital markets is disappearing, and institutions increasingly expect to trade both through the same infrastructure, with the same discipline around execution, risk, and compliance,” said Shihab Khalil, Founder and CEO of ZagTrader. “Bringing the Crypto.com Exchange onto our network gives clients a direct path to one of the largest digital asset platforms in the world, and gives Crypto.com a bridge into a deep base of institutional flow.”
Together, the two companies aim to support the continued convergence of traditional finance and digital markets, giving financial institutions broader access through familiar, scalable, and operationally efficient technology.
